Dartford Crossing SHUT as Storm Henk batters the UK with fierce winds
All Traffic Ground to a Halt
Chaos on the roads as the A282 QEII Bridge southbound at Dartford Crossing is completely closed. Storm Henk’s savage winds have forced Highways England to slam the brakes on all southbound traffic. Drivers face a punishing two-hour delay and standstill queues.
Eastbore Tunnel to the Rescue – Sort Of
The eastbore tunnel, usually for northbound traffic, will soon carry southbound vehicles in a desperate bid to ease the gridlock. But with only one tunnel open, hold-ups are set to worsen. Motorists are stuck waiting as emergency measures try to get traffic moving again.
Safety Comes First Amid Storm Havoc
Officials insist the closure is vital due to dangerous wind speeds making the bridge too risky to cross. “Strong winds on high bridges like the QEII create hazardous driving conditions,” a Highways England spokesperson stated. Drivers are urged to stay alert, check updates, and consider alternative routes to avoid the nightmare.
Stay tuned for live updates as Storm Henk continues to hammer the South East, turning your daily commute into a test of patience.
